💖 docker-credential-secretservice — the D-Bus Secret Service glow-up 💖

okay bestie, so you know how we're always yelling about not hardcoding your registry password in a plaintext file like some kind of chaotic gremlin? yeah. this is the manual page for docker-credential-secretservice, from the Docker Credential Helpers manual. she's a credential helper, she's lowkey iconic, and she wants you to put your secrets in the keyring where they belong. periodt. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

docker-credential-secretservice command

that's it. that's the vibe. you give her a command and she goes to work. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

docker-credential-secretservice is a credential helper for the Docker engine that uses the D-Bus Secret Service API as the credentials store. 🦋

so what does that actually mean? it means it lets Docker securely store and retrieve registry authentication credentials using a keyring service — like gnome-keyring or kwalletd. your registry creds get tucked into a real keyring instead of just vibing out in the open. no cap, it's giving responsible adult energy and honestly? we love that for you. 🫶

👑 COMMANDS 👑

one bullet per command, because we do not skip a single one, not on my watch. 💖

  • store — Adds credentials to the keyring. the payload coming in on standard input is a JSON document with ServerURL, Username and Secret. bestie, that's the whole handshake. ✨
  • get — Retrieves credentials from the keyring. the payload on standard input is just the raw value for the ServerURL. no JSON, no frills, just the URL. 💅
  • erase — Removes credentials from the keyring. and yep — the payload on standard input is the raw value for the ServerURL. bye felicia. 💀
  • list — Lists stored credentials. there is no standard input payload here, she just shows you the goods. 👀
  • version — Prints the version of the credential helper. classic. every icon has a birth certificate. 🌈

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

so you wanna actually use her? okay, to configure Docker to use this credential helper, set the credsStore option in ~/.docker/config.json, like this:

{
  "credsStore": "secretservice"
}

that's the whole spell. cast it and Docker knows exactly who's handling the secrets. 🔥✨

quick vibe check: it's credsStore and the value is secretservice — spell it exactly, bestie, typos don't get a redemption arc. 😭
